Nothing makes someone’s eyes glaze over faster than talking about “budgeting”. What about the “b-word” makes us squirm? We all understand the math involved, and surely the difficulty isn’t an inability to identify the components of spending.

An Investment Approach That’s Stable, Not Static

From an outsider perspective, it can be easy to label Yeske Buie’s investment philosophy as “passive.” While that descriptor is partly true as we do not turn our approach upside-down based on the latest industry trends or fads, our approach to monitoring the components of our portfolios is anything but. We are constantly evaluating the shifting landscape of the global economy and looking for ways to capitalize on structural shifts in the market. Today, we present a timeline of the shifts we’ve made to our portfolios over the last few years to position our Clients’ investments to best harness the market’s movements for growth.
